Osteoporosis

Several factors can increase the likelihood that osteoporosis including age, race, lifestyle choices, and medical conditions and treatments.

• Unchangeable risks linked to genetics
• Hormone levels
• An overactive thyroid or thyroid hormone medication can cause bone loss.
• Low calcium intake
• Medical problems such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, lupus, and kidney or liver disease increase the likelihood of developing osteoporosis.
• Sedentary Lifestyle
• Tobacco Use and Excess Alcohol Consumption
• Oral or injected corticosteroid medications interfere with the remodeling process.
• A parent or sibling with osteoporosis puts you at greater risk.

There typically are no symptoms in the early stages of bone loss. But once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you might have signs and symptoms that include:

• Loss of height over time
• Stooped or curved posture
• Back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra
• A bone fracture that occurs without severe trauma to the body

Chiropractors are musculoskeletal experts by trade. This means that they are highly trained in all matters of the musculoskeletal system, which encompasses every bone, joint, muscle, tendon, and other soft tissue of the body. As musculoskeletal experts, chiropractic doctors make great strides in diagnosing and slowing the loss of bone density in patients with osteoporosis.
